Madonna angers C of E, blah, blah

The Church of England and the Evangelical Alliance have criticised Madonna's use of a mirrored crucifix during her Confessions tour's performance of 'Live To Tell'.

Yawn. The Church Of England has, of course, criticised Madonna's decision to appear suspended from a giant crucifix during performances on her 'Confessions On A Dance Floor' tour, which has just kicked off in Los Angeles. The singer hangs from the mirrored cross as she sings Madonna standard 'Live To Tell'.

David Muir of the Evangelical Alliance accused the singer of "blatant insensitivity", adding: "Madonna's use of Christian imagery is an abuse and it is dangerous. She should drop it from the tour and people need to find their own means of expressing their disapproval."

'The Church' released a statement which read: "Why would someone with so much talent seem to feel the need to promote herself by offending so many people?"

It's not, as you all patently know, the first time Madonna has courted controversy. I'm so bored of people overreacting to Madonna's antics that I can't even be bothered to remind you why. No comment from Madonna's spokespersons thus far.
